Looks like something from a bad Japanese cartoon. How the $^%#$ would that even think of cornering?

looks like death by 10,000 tiny cuts when the carbon fiber goes through your torso as the awesomeness causes the molecules of the chassis to simultaneously de-bond and a rift in the time space continuum develops and swallows you whole!

and I want a sportster bobber!

Seems to work just fine. The major benefit of the hub-centered steering setup is that the front end doesn't dive under braking. This should allow you to brake deeper into corners than a conventional bike.

The above youtube link has a description of how the front end works and some track footage and review.

Built by this guy: Larry Houghton

He's definately got a unique vision. You may hate the bikes, but scroll to the end of the slideshow and check out his "shop" area. He's got the bike propped up w/ two railroad ties w/ tools and stuff everywhere on the floor.

Thanks for the link. I still think it looks ugly as sin, but I'll him big points for thinking outside of the box. I don't know if it works better or not(on the track we just lean) but it obviously is well thought out and seems to work at least as well.

You'll need to log in to post.
